Chapter 749: Crossover Zone IV
“Yeah, it’s something I’m working on. I really like the beat, especially that part in the beginning,”
“The only thing is there’s a slow part at the beginning that I can’t really get a feel for. It feels a bit too different from my style, so I’ve been playing it a bit lately to see if I can get some inspiration,”
“Wait, lemme play that part again so that you can see what I mean,” Danny said and quickly swiped across his phone’s screen, restarting the track.
The track began playing again and after a few seconds of the intro, there was a stretch of the beat that played for about 20 seconds before a beat drop and a change in tempo.
Instantly, everyone who listened to that part could understand what Danny was explaining earlier. That part of the song was slow and a bit low and felt more like a fit for a slow trap, however, Danny was a rapper whose style was hardcore and fast.
This didn’t mean that he couldn’t work with a slow beat at all, but this one did feel like it wouldn’t fit his style.
“See what I mean? The thing is, I don’t want to change that part of the beat. I think it’s really nice and like it’s part of the strong points of the song. It’s just hard to get a read on,” Danny said, not forgetting to stir the sauce he had made for the noodles stir fry.
“Maybe you should just feature someone who can work with that kind of tempo,” Yenni said wisely, seemingly giving advice, but what she really meant to do was to find out whether Danny had other people working on the song together as with that she could pull in another musician’s fans.
With how hot Danny was right now on the music scene, a lot of people wanted to work with him and even the artists that were bigger than he was wanted a share of the pie.
If a big name dropped, then that was all the better for her.
“Yeah, I was thinking that as well, but I’ve not decided who yet. Also I’ve got other songs I’m working on so it’s been a bit slow,”
“Might take a while,” Danny replied and unconsciously swiped across his screen again, taking the track back to the beginning for the third time.
He had done it so many times when he was on his own that by default, whenever the song seemed like it would end, he’d play it again.
Realizing what he had done after a second, he chuckled, but made no effort to change the song as his hands were now busy, trying to stirfry the noodles.
As the beat got to that slow part again, a voice suddenly began singing, surprising everyone,
“I face blunts not problems,”
“That’s my problem,”
“Mad at myself cuz I done hurt my momma,”
“Sad at the fact that I done changed for dollars,”
“Act like I’m fine when I just drink to hide it,”
“Pain subsiding,”
“I need help I can’t find it,”
“I need time just to find new options,”
“Told everybody I’m fine I got it,”
“I hate the fact that they know that I’m lying,”
This was Jason just playing around with a couple of lyrics after hearing the beat for a third time, but this was where he planned to stop as he didn’t care much for the rest of the beat after the beat drop, however, Danny who had heard Jason’s verse and surprised that it somehow fitted the bill of what he wanted was so enthusiastic that he began rapping the part he already added lyrics.
“B*tches on my necklace throat deep they neckless,”
“S*x so good you think I’m dyslexic,”
“Hypnotised her with this d*ck, it’s ten inch,” he began, but before he could continue, a tomato smashed in his face.
“Ahhh!” Everyone on the set was shocked at the sudden splash of red that appeared on Danny’s face with pinpoint accuracy.
“Aiyooo? What the f*ck bro?” he asked in shock at Jason who had flung the tomato at him.
“Why you gotta ruin it like that?” Jason asked in annoyance, eyeing Danny with disappointment.
“S*x so good you think I’m dyslexic? Like for real?”
“What the f*ck is that?” Jason cussed.
“It’s a switch in the beat bruh, I changed the genre from your slow trap to-…” Danny tried to explain, but Jason interjected again.
“To trash,”
“Bruh, what the f*ck?”
“Hypnotised her with what? Ten inch?” Jason facepalmed in even more disappointment.
“It didn’t sound that bad though,” Yenni interjected from the side, but all she got from Jason was a bombastic side eye.
Behind the cameras, the director quickly scribbled down the bombastic side eye on a notepad. He was going to tell the editor to make sure to add the meme and the sound effects when editing later.
Jason was terribly disappointed after hearing Danny murder the beat just because all he wanted to do was rhyme. With lyrics like that at the beginning of the song, every listener’s ears would need therapy when the song came out.
‘Is there no more lyrical intellect these days?’
‘What did I even expect from the dude with a pornstar name,’ Jason cursed internally.
“You should work with brazzers or some shi. The general populace cannot bear such stimulation,” he said out loud, turning back to what he was cooking.
“Hey, that’s not a bad idea. The money’s gonna just keep rolling in,” Danny said with great excitement as if Jason had just given him the idea of a lifetime.
Jason had to fight the urge to facepalm, the urge to throw something at Danny, and the urge to just punch him right there, all at the same time.
Settling for a deep breath, he re-focused on not burning what he was cooking.
After Jason had gotten back to doing his thing with the added feature of ignoring Danny, the clock quickly ran down and soon it was time for the two of them to present the dishes they had both prepared.
Surprisingly… to only Danny, Jason won this part of the competition.
To everyone else, it was clear that Jason was the winner and even before the competition was over, that much was clear, after all, Jason actually cooked something from scratch while Danny prepared instant food, added a few condiments and an additional step and called it a special dish.
In terms of exoticism, taste, presentation, and all-around effort, Jason trumped Danny in the competition and all but Danny could see that.
But then what did one expect from someone with a pornstar name?
